The remark was made 70 me while was

The conversation here turned to Mrs. Lin

carry out the general idea now entertained OF
| her. aud the troubles which President Lincoln
had in keeping peace with her. She thought
the best explanation for the whole was that
the woman was not entirely compos mentis.

coin should be parioned on this ground.
